I think so and have added this to my Joomla website.

I've waited a long time for Friend Connect to go public, but now that I have access, I'm trying to find an excuse to use it Our 2 main sites JoomlaPraise.com and CMSMarket.com have community aspects, but I can't see a way to use Friend Connect, bc they both involve tying info to the user profile, whether the info is orders, subscriptions, or products. What do you think? Would it only make sense to use Friend Connect for sites where you're not using ecommerce or community components like a simple blog site?

When I try to add the Google code in the module and publish it,I can only see the code.I can't see the Google's code working in my site.What can be the reason and how to troubleshoot it?

Google Friend Connect does not connect to Joomla. Google is aware of this and is working on something. See the google friend connect group: http://groups.google.com/group...d73ca4a279
To Aman. Paste the code through the html button on your editor or turn your editor off before you paste.

great

I have integrate it with joomla

see the result here:

Hello David

I have add the link to this site

One more site in the list using Google Friend Connect. http://www.informationmadness.com/cms/

I think it would be great to use this gadget with Joomla.

I have a blog in Joomla and I'm using Google Friend Connect, I think so far nothing too interesting, but seeing the future this will be a very good tool.

If you want put my address blog is: http://www.ronildo.com.br/blog

*Sorry but its in brazilian portuguese.

I have added GFC using a template hack, but I am thinking of using it as the base commenting system for the site.
What I can't find out, (and would rather know before I start playing), is can I add a code block to articles on a per-category basis?

Once I know that I have enough justification to delve deeper.

I have used GFC for commenting on a blog, that is not the issue.
What I wanted to know is, does the Jumi extension let me add a code block to articles in Joomla, at (preferably) a per category level, or (at least) a per section level?

Sorry if I was unclear

I think that this will be a very good application for our site - but i am a total newbie...in the instructions it says to download the relay and canvas html and then upload it to the site so that there will be a url www.xxx.com/canvas.html
Where do I upload it on my site...I tried in a content pasting the code - but that didn't work
Help!
Please
I have the new joomla - boy do I sound like a dummy - but you have to learn sometime and somehow!

If you have a friend connect enabled website then why don't you submit it to the google friend connect directory. The site is free and no reciprocal link is required, our aim is just to deliver a great resource for friend connect sites.

We are also planning to use joomla on our directory as the main blog and content manager.

I don't get the value proposition other than driving users to Register at Google and sending traffic to their network.

What does it bring to my users?

How can I monetize it?

Will it bring me more traffic?

Will it increase my site's stickeyness?

Does it admin save time or money?

???

The module works well, however it is unfortunate that is can not sync with your current login system (being default Joomla or Community Builder). Hopefully future version will have this.

Anyways you can take a look at my site to see how it looks. Maybe you can even connect

Can anyone provide info/example sites showing some of their best practices for "Friend Connect"? While installing some of the modules was trouble-free, I'm interested in how others have made FC a good tool for their readers as well as one that helps drive traffic to their site.

Thanks!

This "works" but it doesn't make sense for a community site since it doesn't integrate with your database. So user's "join" my site (to use the Google lingo) but they can't view the member's only profiles, or post in the forums (I only allow members to post there), or message or interact with my "real" members. Even if I was just using Joomla for a website for a pizza joint what benefit is there for me to hand over the keys to my kingdom to Google? And I can't really see how Google is ever going to be willing to share user data with my website. The security risks are just too high. I think the best we could hope for would be to use Google Friend Connect as a method of authenticating a user.

Thanks for adding my site as an example site!

I'm still working up to using friend connect for commenting.

Many people seem to have lost interest; looks like "Data Stronghold Technology News" have dumped Friend Connect, but it is improving rapidly.

I'm sticking with it!

I uploaded canvas.html to the root but no "join" button on the gadget. Everything else looks right. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Saw that some people were seeing the "unable to connect to http://yoursite.com. I found a possible fix for some instances. Make sure you dont have the jumi module set as the firt module in the list when publishing. I just started a site and added GFC on it as well, heres the link. http://www.pwnhomes.com

grishko. when you create your gadget on the google page, make sure you set the location correctly. I noticed when I set mine to "left", I cant see the join button. Might help ya.

I don't know how to add it to my site of translation business.

Anybody could tell me how to use Google Friend Connect to my site www.vaishravana.com? I have it appeared in my Google account.

** Update: is there a tutorial on how to sync GFC with my joomla login system?

{purpose: to allow GFC users to sumbit events using EventList}

Interested in seeing what it will do once i figure out how to make it fit in my site.

Hi Guys - I tried installing the google friendconnect on to my site www.comunidaddedios.org take a look.

I ended up having to install Jumi to get Google's Friend Connect to work with my Joomla! site, but even for a noob like myself it was clear and simple to do. I highly recommend both tools in conjunction. I am excited at the possibilities, especially with Jumi in my toolbox.

I had a little trouble setting Google's friends connect up on my site, but it seems to be working now. I am still having a few issues - like comments not showing up though the app shows that two have been made, and we're having trouble adding friends and receiving friend requests as well as messages, I think. I'm sure I'll get it sorted out though. I may have to add a couple more gadgets...

For those developing plugins for google friend connect, you could use this web service
